Zero Escape 3 will be called Zero Time Dilemma ⊟

The follow-up to Virtue’s Last Reward and Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors will be called Zero Time Dilemma when it hits 3DS and Vita next summer (preorder here)! Here’s a better version of the game’s art we previously posted:

And here’s a fresh blurb Aksys put out about the game too:

“Choice is your only method of salvation and your only means of escape. How much of your humanity will you sacrifice to earn your freedom? As a new age of ruin looms large on the horizon, you must make impossible decisions and weather unimaginable consequences as you straddle the line between absolution and damnation. Plan your escape.”

The English version of Otomate’s Period: Cube ~ Shackles of Amadeus ~ is set to be released on April 25th, 2017!

“In search of your older brother’s whereabouts, you join the online RPG, ‘Arcadia’ in search of clues. Having lost consciousness after being drawn into a mysterious light, you wake up within the game’s fantasy world! Confused and shaken by your strange yet familiar surroundings, you learn that the only way to escape this world of life-or-death is to clear the game. As the game world begins to crumble and fall apart, you gain the status of the ‘Shinken’ (divine sword), key to clearing the game, and become targeted by hordes of enemies.

With 30+ Hours of gameplay Period: Cube ~Shackles of Amadeus~ offers stylized characters, beautiful visuals and an intriguing story that will challenge your very perception of reality!

Prepare to be sucked into a virtual world like no other! Fraught with danger, every move could be your last. As the lone hope for Arcadia, only you can defeat the powerful forces of darkness!

A branching narrative and multiple endings ensure each player will be leading their own unique story! Choose carefully, as each decision changes the path before you.“ (From the official website)

Zero Time Dilemma’s trailer is here! ⊟

“The narrative trick is that every 90 minutes, a drug is injected from the watches everyone’s wearing that causes them to wake up and lose all their memories. The story can be played out of chronological order thanks to this mechanic, so you start from a ‘floating fragment’ screen that shows you the various scenes in the story.”

In search of your older brother’s whereabouts, you join the online RPG, ‘Arcadia’ in hope of discovering clues.
